For that matter, any amount of AC, does it really matter and if so how much so?

I posted gamparse in the past of mitigation vs the highest level mobs in KC like a year ago (body guard room, hand room, VS area spectres and decayed soldiers). basically EVERY melee I had a decent number of hits recorded had almost exactly the same average hit (52-59 ranger, several paladins and monks), which was 70 damage. This shows for these mobs, at least, it is fairly trivial to accumulate sufficient worn AC.
Now, when you die, you take huge hits basically every time anything lands (because naked: no worn AC), even against greens. This shows that worn AC does help mitigation to a degree, otherwise you wouldn't be taking big hits when naked.
I've yet to do any parsing against anything else much. I might look in to something like how pillar dragons are mitigated against 60 war vs 60 ranger... provided I can find someone brave enough to let a ranger tank one!
